This just appeared on another forum. (NMS-TTOS) Seems a little fishy to me...

Got my score, complete with autograph. Chiu did a nice job.

Thanks Jim. Stark did a very nice job transcribing. Now that fish from the sea is off my menu due to radiation poisoning, trout is definitely on the menu.

Bronislau Kaper, the Hollywood composer, before coming to America, was working in Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s, composing some piano music with a classical/jazz fusion. He wrote some short solo piano pieces (still in manuscript) but published a set of 10 concert transcriptions of popular songs, in a set called "Jazz Drops". These were published by Alberti (Berlin) in the early 1930s.

He also composed some two piano transcriptions (which I have). However, I have not been able to locate FIVE of the ten transcriptions (I have Nos. 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10). Alberti was apparently bombed out of existence in 1944 (no other publishing house holds its archives). WorldCat and other sources I have checked do not have any of the remaining scores. I would appreciate any help in locating the last five of the set.

(I am attaching No. 10 of the set which has a list of all ten concert transcriptions on the face sheet.)

Here is a slight but fun transcription of a short student piece of Tchaikovsky's originally for string trio. Enjoy!
I have a rather large transcription in the finalizing process now that should have been finished a year ago, but I've been sidetracked by life and all of that. Lets just say it's by my favorite Beethoven pupil. Just need to clean up these four crazy voices that keep intermingling.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome, Alfor!
Here is the beta version of my latest transcription. It took a heck of a lot of work, but I'm glad to share it with everyone. I don't believe there are any recordings of this piece, but I think it highly deserves to be recorded. I have a soft spot for Ferdinand Ries. This is my first foray into string quartet transcription so it's a little rough around the edges. I had particular difficulty scoring the 32nd notes during the 3rd variation in the second movement. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Enjoy!
